Air purifiers improve the air quality within the home and workplace. Far more effective than a simple ioniser, high quality air purifiers use multiple filters to thoroughly clean, treat and sterilise the air. The difference air purifiers make is immediately noticeable, with indoor air smelling much cleaner and fresher.

An effective air purifier eases respiratory problems like asthma and allergies by removing airborne allergens such as pollen, pet dander (pet hair) and dust mite excretion. An air purifier also filters volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some of which, such as formaldehyde in cigarette smoke, are known human carcinogens while others are simply the cause of unpleasant odours. The best air purifiers also use ultra-violet (UV) light to kill bacteria and viruses, to help combat the spread of airborne illnesses such as coughs and colds.

•Ioniser - to generate negative ions that attach to allergens, making them heavy enough to drop to the floor

The six complementary air purification systems create a powerful air purifier that combats physical (including microscopic) and gaseous allergens as well as bacteria, viruses and unwanted smells. The HEPA filter is particularly important for asthma sufferers, while the UV light and Ti02 filter are vital for killing germs. Maintaining an air purifier is straight-forward. With normal usage, the filters need only be replaced once a year and are very simple to fit.

Ideally air purification should be addressed across the entire household or workplace, with a combination of air purifiers. Kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms are worthy of special attention, particularly if the aim is to ease asthma symptoms or other allergies such as pollen to ease hay fever.

Aside from ensuring an air purifier has all six air treatments, other considerations when buying an air purifier should be

5) UV Light - Sterilizes air, neutralizes bacteria and viruses to improve air quality. 6) Ioniser - Distributes negative ions throughout the room to remove microscopic particles from the air and introduce traces of Ozone killing bacteria and Viruses in the air.

Ecoair's Pure 126 and Pure 155 are high quality air purifiers that come with UV light treatment and Ti02 filter to kill 99.9% of airborne germs. These Ecoair air purifier cleans, treats and sterilises the air in six complementary ways

•Ioniser - generates negative ions to make allergens drop to the floor

•Carbon filter - neutralises unwanted odours

By removing pollen and other allergens such as pet dander, Ecoair air purifier’s helps to cut respiratory problems such as asthma and hay fever. Air purifiers also combat volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including those in cigarette smoke such as formaldehyde. Combined with ultra-violet (UV) light to kill bacteria and viruses, including common coughs and colds, an Ecoair air purifier help keeps family or work colleagues free from the perils of air pollution.

Considerations when buying an air purifier should be

•Types of filters included (The thickness and sizes of the filters must be considered, As a rule of thumb the larger and thicker the more effective)
